Title:
  Many users upgrading from 11.04 or eariler will be unable to open
  trash; flash drives  & if using Classic session places  in nautilus

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “nautilus” source package in Oneiric:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  For affected users:
  1. install the new version from -proposed
  2. logout/login and check that the entitle dissues aren't reproducable

  This issue isn't really a nautilus one per se, have to start
  somewhere.

  The issue is simple, updaters are quite likely to have this line in the [Default Applications] section of ~/.local/share/mimeapps.list
  inode/directory=
  If it is inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop, which no longer exists,  then things like trash & usb flash drives will open with the 1st. listed .desktop  on the inode/directory= line in the [Added Associations] section which in many cases is a media player

  Have just myself seen Edit:  40  such cases in a couple days
  for users that are logging into gnome-fallback this can also extend to the places menu

  In 11.10 & 12.04 this will mainly affect 10.10, 11.04 & 10.04 users who installed before 10.04.2
  Maybe there is nothing to be done, eventually it will go away as installs with nautilus-folder.handler.desktop disappear
  (it's possible that one of the other nautilus.desktop names that is also no longer used could be on that line to the same effect.
